looks good. what size are they?

17x9's in front with 245/45/17

17x10.5 rears with 275/40/17

Car looks great. Should have upped the tire sizes though.

What do you mean???? Gone with 18's instead???? I stuck with the 17's due to ride quality

With the 10.5 rim i think he may be talkin about going with a 315 instead of a 275 on back.

There was some ABS issues with the Germans, they said that I HAD to go with this offset. Different rules of engagement over here.

He doesn't mean offset, he meant tire width... a 315mm wide tire in the rear will look even better, it'll be a good fit. I have a 295 tire on an 18x10 wheel and am still in the "safe range" for the tire, so a 315 on a 17x10.5 should be safe too.

It won't interfere with the ABS equipment at all... I can't really see a different offset tire doing that because the ABS sensors for the rear are pretty much totally shielded by the axle and the brake equipment.
